    Scorpius expectations?

    The Vanguard is a front line, military, long range, multi-role combat fighter. The Hurricane is a civilian version of a short ranged military, single purpose, carrier fighter. The Scorpius is a short ranged single purpose militia fighter. They are all two seat fighters. The Super Hornet is...

    Scorpius expectations?

    They told us more fragile than a Super Hornet and less maneuverable than a Hurricane. That is where I expect it to be.

    Warden turning into Sentinel

    Repeaters (Ballistic or Laser) S1-4 are 1400 m/s. Everything else is 700m/s, to include the MVSA. :)

    Hull A cargo bumped up to 64 SCU

    Rule of cool, no more. If it still has its small components it should be cheaper to operate than a Freelancer. Its competitors are the Nomad, the Titan, the Reliant Core and the 300 series. Of course that also makes it carrier fighter range. So for carrying stuff around a single planetary...

    Warden turning into Sentinel

    My Warden is loaded with MVSA in the Nose and a Deadbolt V under the nose. I don't have issues with ammo speed and the burst DPS is insane. Most missions use about 5-10 rounds out of 70. But The Deadbolt is on trigger 2.

    Warden turning into Sentinel

    It says EMP charges not missiles. The difference between charges, the devices currently in use and missiles has never been defined, by CIG.

    It was only offered that one time. My favorite is still the video of the guy that dropped the Tonk into the hangar bay.

    Coincidentally the C8x is $45. So for the same price you could have a Carrack with a C8 and a C8x.

    My Liberator is enough. A Bounty Hunting kit for my Vanguard would be a good choice too.

    If they would let us buy a Pegasus and started showing actual progress, I would consider it.

    Question: what are the best solo ships for PvE, which you can buy in game for aUEC in the current 3.16?

    According to the information on the BUKs the frame is the same and the changes from one version to the next are included in the "Combination Kit" (Or is it pack, I forget). For the Sentinel, Warden and Harbinger (maybe the Hoplite) with the kits, one Vanguard equals all Vanguards. So for...

    They are now called "combination kits" but, yes they still exist.

    I have a Warden with a Sentinel BUK. You could also do a Sentinel with a Warden BUK. That way you get the best of both worlds.

    If you aren't using the EMP you can split the weapon groups.

    Question: what are the best solo ships for PvE, which you can buy in game for aUEC in the current 3.16?

    The Deadbolt 5 has 60 secomds of Ammo (70 shots). Unless the target is one of the really tough ships I'm not using more than 3 Rounds per target. That takes the MVSA capacitors to 37 shots until recharge is needed, so i'm almost always doing burst damage. Of course when I was in the Army, on...

    Question: what are the best solo ships for PvE, which you can buy in game for aUEC in the current 3.16?

    Against most targets, when using the 4 MVSA load out, you don't have to sustain very long with good trigger discipline. My loadout of 4xMVSA and a Deadbolt 5 gives me 2425 Alpha, 3145 DPS sustained and 4204 dps burst. The MVSA alone do 999 dps sustained and 2014 burst. Now if your target is...

    Yes, that I knew. Which means they damage shields but do no physical damage. Laser cannons damage shields too, but, based on the numbers, much faster. Then Laser cannons do physical damage.
